The participants of the fraudulent scheme were a leading trade union official and four officials of the Main Directorate of Communal Property of the Kyiv City State Administration.
The Security Service of Ukraine exposed a large-scale scheme for the appropriation of state sanatorium institutions and the resort sector of Ukraine, in which a “leading trade union official” was involved. The total value of property returned to Ukraine is UAH 25 billion. This was reported by the SBU press center on Tuesday, December 13.
Kyiv Operational said on his Telegram channel, citing his sources, that he was talking about Viktor Saenko, Deputy Chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine.
They also added that he owns a chain of Rhino strip clubs, a luxury yacht, a car fleet and a “pile of real estate.”
“As a result of systematic operation and investigation, it was established that the Deputy Chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine and four former high-ranking officials of the Main Department of Communal Property of the Kyiv City State Administration were involved in arranging the transaction ,” the SBU notes.
Among the assigned real estate are Ukrainian sanatoriums, rehabilitation centers and educational and sports institutions. Because of this, the SBU transferred 230 illegal privatized institutions to the National Agency for the Detection, Search and Management of Assets Obtained from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA).
